Tuesday - Uniform & Wheelchair & Federer & Nadal

thats the sight that will greet us EVERY MORNING

in the bus on a special route to Olympic Area.

that's Vicky from Czech (the boy la..with his 2 hands on the bars)

this is how look like, IF we can ever get a seat,

we're consider lucky already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats the bus stop that we get down to go to our area,

thats KK, another Malaysian Volunteer, who works in

OGN - Olympic Green North too.

I'm in Tennis, He's in Hockey.

everyday upon arrival, we're checked by security,

and tag in, in this cute room with smiley faces on the floor. eat our healthy breakfast, my fav is this,

soft bread with egg yolk in the middle. morning: the multitask volunteer will work in groups,

to learn how to provide better service

to spectator on wheelchair.its interesing, there are things i learnt like,

how to park, how to handle, what to do on a slope/hindrance,

and how to wheel in a way, so they can greet each other.

even the beijing mayor or somebody like that visit us!

There are Han Zhu, and Man Zhu (minority) in China,

this is Nan Ye Nan, he is obviously Man Zhu race.

he's the one who helped me translate Beijing chinese

to normal mandarin, cos he's got tons of malaysian friends,

hong kong girlfriend, and he studies in switzerland,

and he looks like my collegemate ROY! lol... i had to change my baseball cap to fisherman's hat,

because baseball cap its only for BOYS. so sexist.

this is our group pic during the wheelchair session.

that's the torch runner for one of the province in china,

TALL ONE. but much later, i was finally assigned to Ticket Checking

we've bond so well in just one day, and i really like them,

they're very helpful and carefree........ im not sure abt

ticket checking, but i will try to cope & start to talk to ppl. we had our briefing about the tickets we're gonna check,

like how to identify the real from the fake, with some high tech machine. unlike multitasking crew we are based INDOORS.

ticket checking crew is based OUTDOOR!!!! (+_+)

we ran like any other fans would run! speed of light.

the court looks packed, i know we're doing something

very very wrong, but hey..... if everyone is getting into trouble,

i dont mind too, lol Rafael Nadal was there, but I only saw him and didnt dare to

take a picture, so i took a picture, of a picture,

taken by ChangQing, Mongolia. : )

i think Nadal looks funny in here.

Past & Present 4 - Sports

I remember my first sports entry to my scrapbook

was Sergio Garcia, but i cant seem to find it,

its just a small piece of newspaper, but i like the term

'boy wonder', lol~ so i tot, might as well add it in.

Next was Michael Owen, it was 1998,

if i'm not mistaken, after World Cup.

Sports idols were like impossible dream,

but in its way it helps me understand that

discipline, dedication and obviously talent,

is what makes them so special, i can excel too,

in whatever do, like, my studies ...

(i was still in college back then)

Kimi Raikkonen, when I was an intern,

I told myself, when the Malaysian F1 GP is here,

I MUST INTERVIEW KIMI RAIKKONEN.

it happened. LOL. and they all remembered me as

"the Malaysian girl who can speak Finnish and made Kimi laughed"

hehehehehehe, SEE, believing (and lots of persuasion)

is what makes it a reality!!!!

AND Olympics of course!

I remember when I was a kid,

i was sitting in front of the TV when i first saw the 5 rings,

my dad told me "this is the best of the best"

i dont know what he meant back then,

i tot he meant that the show was very beautiful,

but it kept a ring in my head, and when i am a little bit older,

i know Olympic features the best sports athletes in the world,

they break records, they acheive the impossible,

and that it is possible too in our ordinary daily life.

I came across these golf club passes

along with the CONCERT ones (above)

i just stare and stare and think and feel like a lost child.

because it evoke the deepest emotion about someone

that i never knew but i truly believe in him,

Ben Leong

i mean i cannot hide a past that meant so much to me.

it shapes me, it motivates me, it angered me,

it was everything that a girl believed in and challenged,

and against all forces wish to calm the impossibility.

its all in vague terms to u, because no words will ever

be enough to describe the years since the first time i met him.

all these are like little help that i can show,

by keeping updated about what he does,

by showing concern, by giving trust,

by believing, and not interfering (most of the time)

because we're both strangers.

but it does feel like i will lose a part of me,

if i ever lose my memories about him,

i dont know him, its too deep to explain

how and why this will happened.

somethings that i do, lol, do u see a pattern?

it goes along the pattern with the music idol era,

but i learn so much about the sports,

just by reading it too, and golf is also where

i met some of the most 'crazy' friends too.

(@_@)oh yah, how can i forget Maria Sharapova?! :)and you must be wondering why isnt there any Tiger Woods?

thats cos im lazy to take any more pics!!!!~ hahah~
